Underhill Couloir to Starlight

June 20, 2010 - The ascent from the Underhill Couloir to Starlight Peak. I found the Dike Bands to be a convenient reference for determining where to cut right since it is hard to orient yourself once you're in the middle of that area.

I wish we had better photos for when we did the traverse. Even with reading up ahead of time, there was a lot of routefinding to be done that made us take too long! Of course we did get more of the 'adventure' side of the climb that way.

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
--Jack London
